PAGIF StM THE MICHIGAN DAILY S.A" URD.AY, MAY 33 1942 PAGE SiX SATTJi~DAY, MAY: 9, 1942 U Employes To Partieipa ve Ini Bond Drive Local High School Seniors Will Open Systematic Campaign Next Week As part of the city-wide canvass to solicit pledges to purchase war bonds, local high school seniors will call at the homes of all University employes Monday and Tuesday of next week, asking them to partici- pate in a systematic savings plan. The University's answer to the in- auguration of the nation-wide bond- buying campaign, which will begin next week, is designed to make bond purchases easier through regular payroll deductions. Through the savings plan, every University employe-be he a dean or custodian-will be able to buy bonds without reducing savings ac- counts. Deductions are made in mul- tiples of $3.75 per month from pay- rolls for the purchase of Series 'E' war bonds. Purely voluntary, pledges may be revoked at any time. Information concerning the plan has been mailed to most employes with pledge cards. Similar plans have proven very popular in many industries. The payroll deductions are added up from month to month until the fund is sufficient to purchase a bond of the denomination indicated on the pledge. Series 'E' bonds come in de- nominations of $25, $50, $100, $500 and $1,000. Technic Editor Reveals Plans for New Year, Leader Of Marines Col. Samuel L.

The lecture will be the fourth in a weekly series being offered to ac- Torpedo Plane Will Aid Fleet, Stalker States Strongly urging far greater use of the torpedo plane as potentially the deadliest weapon of a fleet arm, Prof. Edward A. Stalker, head of the aero- nautical engineering department, yesterday charged that the German battleships which escaped through the Straits of Dover would have been sunk by high-class torpedo planes. Citing the rout of the Italian fleet at Taranto by old-type British Swordfishes and the sinking of the mighty Nazi battleship Bismarck by similar planes, he pointed out that when a dozen or more such aircraft attack capital ships, hits are almost certain. Stalker lamented that insufficient design attention has been paid this type of aircraft, and stressed that, such planes in use are both slow and lacking in armament. Field Of Aviation In an article in the Michigan Alumnus Quarterly Review, he cov- ered the whole field of war aviation- time and again making clear his con- viction that air power properly used will be the decisive factor in this war. In his discussion of the U.S. plane production program, he said, "when it comes to mass production America is unique. America can certainly count on having the huge quantities of planes necessaryto win the war." Stalker also declared without qual- ification that "there is no limit in sight as to the size of aircraft" and added that since speeds of large and small planes are tending toward equal maximums, fighters will prob- ably become large aircraft "carrying great fire-power and able to attain great range and altitude." Transport Planes In this connection also he ap- proved huge transport planes which in the post-war era could fill many of the present functions of trains and large sea liners. Stalker discussed the question of mass production versus innovation in detail, stating that "an air force numerically inferior should concen- trate on production," but that when equality approached, "innovations adapted to the production design can be made."
